I’m sharing this sweet little swing in tree decor on the Silhouette America blog today. It’s a great piece of decor for Valentine’s Day, but I think it can be displayed year round. In fact, I made a second one and gave it to some …

Hello, Silhouette friends! Let me share with you how I used this week’s free design on a couple of cards, in combination with metallic sketch pens and rhinestones for extra shimmer. This ribbon design has a lot of pieces to be placed, so I chose …
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching here in the United States, which for my family means big get-togethers with lots of kids. I thought it would be fun to make a kids’ craft for the little ones to do while they wait for the food on Thanksgiving …

This week’s free design from Silhouette is an adorable owl. I decided to make a friendly little owl card with two of these owls and lots of layers. I wanted to create my own saying on a banner shape, so I used Silhouette Studio’s Text-To-Path …
Here’s my assembly tutorial for this haunted house I made for Silhouette America. My instructions are for a CAMEO machine, but the original house file does come sized to be used with Portrait and earlier Silhouette models. If you don’t use a CAMEO, it will …

The first large project I made when I bought my CAMEO in 2011 was a haunted house, and I thought it would be fun to revisit this project and create a new house for my fall decorations. I started with the luminara haunted house …
Are you looking for a simple kids craft? How about cutting out some chipboard shapes, which your child can then wrap with twine or yarn? We added these chipboard shapes to a school tissue box for each child. I wanted to let my kids help …
Here’s a fun card you can use for students of any age using this week’s free shape. I chose to fill one of the frames with a cute pattern, used printable white sticker paper for all of the print-and-cut elements, and mounted them on chipboard …
